Shane Rogers and Wayne Hughes were rank and hurt the club with the work they did
You understand yeah, they were not going to be competitive for a while when they brought in Malthouse, from the inside, outside and about the 1 in 10 of mainboard posters who didn't have brain damage they had a lot of dead wood on the list
So they started a cull, Which yeah they needed to do no problem with that
however, bringing in Liam Jones who couldn't hold down a KPP spot at the freaking bulldogs who were in more despirate need of a leading marking target? 3 freaking years? Jason Tutt? I'll also go on record to say while the trade to GWS was a good idea in theory to maybe get 2 players who could contribute and hang on to a pick around 20, they netted two average players for a high pick who need a bit of work in the VFL then netted a bloke out of nowhere with the return pick. Boekhurst was a second/third round pick, very raw and a gamble, something you do with later picks. a kind of swing to the fences without really anyone looking to take the punt untill the end of the draft
Daisy was a gamble which didn't pay off, can't lay the boots for that one. If he got to 70% of his ability at collingwood it's a solid investment for a young rebuilding team. He's had a putrid run, They really need him to get up and show on-field leadership
The mixture of the list is strange, surely Warnock should of gone a few years ago. They had to pick up Cameron wood because they two ruckmen on the list are injured for a good third of the season on average. They need to net about 4 first round picks and hunt a bloke like Carlisle in the PSD
I'ld also be fishing for blokes like Jenkins, Clarke from freo for basement prices. Just becauyse they could contribute for maybe 1-2 years before some new draftee's are ready to take over
And trade Gibbs/Murphy? They sevearly lack on-field leaders, Lets not go full melbourne,the 25-30 Y.O output for the next 5 years is far greater then freaking 3 late first rounders. If i was Bolton and they traded Murphy/Gibbs ild be walking straight out
For sure, Henderson might get you a good pick, If Kruezer gets 500k+ and more then 2 years let him walk, Trade Yarran and look at everyone, But you dont trade the leaders in Jamison/Murphy/Gibbs, What else do you want to do? Make a teenage Cripps who's still learning to play football suddenly captain?
